GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
INSTALLATION
• This product must be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations
(BS7671) and current Building Regulations. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician
• Please isolate mains prior to installation or maintenance
• Check the total load on the circuit (including when this luminaire is fitted) does not exceed the
rating of the circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker
• Please note the IP (Ingress Protection) rating of this luminaire when deciding the location for
installation
• This product is Class III
• This product is IP65 rated
Note - If this luminaire is being used in conjunction with an external PIR or sensor, please
confirm with the manufacturer of the sensors that they are compatible with LED luminaires
This product requires a 350mA constant current electrical supply. Irreparable damage will be
caused if used with other electrical supplies (i.e. AC transformer or constant voltage supply)
It is essential that the fittings are connected to the constant current driver before the driver is
connected to the mains supply. Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the
fittings. (In the event of an open circuit on the secondary side, a constant current driver will “ramp
up” to its maximum voltage. If the LED load is then connected, it will be connecting to a potentially
damaging over-voltage. If the driver has been connected to the mains supply with an open circuit,
ensure the output terminals of the driver are short circuited to discharge its internal capacitors
before connecting the load.) For the same reason, the lights must not be switched on the low
voltage side of the driver
• Provide power to the required point of installation (refer to BS7671 for correct cabling methods).
Suitable IP rated junction boxes should be used where required
• Choose a position for the luminaire ensuring that the ground is suitable to firmly hold the spike
and luminaire in position. Check that the ground is not liable to flooding and the spike does not
infringe with any underground pipes or cables
• The body of the product should not rest directly on the ground
• The pre-installed cable supplied is for above-ground use only. Cables that are to be routed within
walls or below ground must be protected by means of suitable conduit or trunking (see Fig. 1)

• The spike of the luminaire is required to be pushed fully into the ground
• If installing outdoors, please ensure an RCD or RCBO is used
• The power source connections should be local and accessible via a suitable IP rated enclosure
• The fittings must be wired IN SERIES to the secondary side of the constant current driver (see Fig.
2). The minimum and maximum load of the driver must be observed
• We recommend that a maximum cable run of 10m of 0.75mm² CSA cable be used in the series
circuit
• The junction box IP68JBS can be used for the connection of up to three fittings at a time
• Connect the + (brown) and – (blue) ends of the series loop into the secondary terminals of the
constant current driver
• Connect the constant current driver to the Live (brown) and Neutral (blue) of the mains supply
• Switch on and check for correct operation
WARNING
This product must be disconnected from the circuit if subjected to any high voltage or insulation
resistance testing. Irreparable damage will occur if this instruction is not followed
Care must be taken if these fittings are required to be installed in a special location as defined by
BS7671, this is because the maximum secondary voltage of the driver may exceed the maximum
voltage requirements of the location
